A Date and a Pig

We were invited to a BBQ last weekend and was scheduled to bring fruit salad and at the last minute, as an extra, I threw together an appetizer. This appetizer was SO good, it was all gobbled up before we left the house!  What an easy appetizer this turned out to be. And as I've said before, everything's great wrapped up in bacon. 

If you like the taste combination of sweet with salt, you will LOVE this dish.  Only two ingredients needed: dates and bacon!

Ingredients needed:
30 pitted dates
bacon

+ toothpicks

Slice the bacon in half, length-wise. Wrap a date with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Place all on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes then turn and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Enjoy!

Happy Wednesday!

Portuguese Roll-Ups

What an easy appetizer this turned out to be. If you like the taste combination of sweet with salt, you will LOVE this appetizer.  I first made these for a BBQ that we were going to, but they never made it because my family ate most of them before it was time to leave!

Ingredients needed:
30 pitted dates
bacon
toothpicks

Slice the bacon in half, length-wise. Wrap a date with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Place all on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes then turn and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
